Latitudes performs National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) wastewater permitting following CWA requirements for various sewage treatment facilities; such as publicly owned treatment works (POTW), privately owned works (for communities or subdivisions), and industrial facilities throughout the United States.

These permits are required by facilities which discharge domestic or industrial wastewater to the environment. Domestic plants are located in cities and towns and discharge sanitary or sewage wastewater, while industrial companies may have water discharges associated with certain production or manufacturing processes.

These are federal operating permits which are managed by the state environmental agencies. For instance, in Texas, the TCEQ is the administrator of these permits.

NPDES Permits must be renewed every 5 years.

The application packages include forms, diagrams, maps, water quality data, and other attachments. Most of our projects are amendments or renewals (for existing facilities), although we also prepare applications for new facilities.
